I mentioned earlier that my children feel deprived to not have any sort of gaming system. My husband and I have decided that we will get them one for Christmas, but the jury is still out on which one. There are so many choices. We had a Wii and liked it, so the Wii U is definitely a contender, especially since we can use the games we already have.

For the first time ever on a Nintendo console, you can play in full 1080p HD. You can do quite a bit on the Wii U, including making and sharing your new Mii characters and interacting in the Miiverse. You can download add-on content, including full games and applications. You can even chat in real time with the Wii U chat feature.

Not just video games, use your Wii U to watch television shows, movies and videos on demand, plus browse the internet.

Bargainmoosers, what is your favourite gaming system? What do you think will be the most cost-effective and worthwhile purchase for my gaming system-less children?
